Gemson Has Nine Games
Head Coach Frank Howard announced last week a nine
game schedule for the 1940 edition of Clemson college’s foot
ball team. Auburn and Wofford replace Navy and George
Washington.
The card:
September 21. Presbyterian there; 28, Wofford there;
October 5, N. C- State at Charlotte; 12, Wake Forest here;
24, South Carolina there; Nov. 2, Tulane there; 9, Aubui'n
there; 16, Southwestern there; 23, Furman there-
Clemson supporters are expecting a good season for
1940 even without McFadden. Their schedule is not as strong
as it might be but there are several good games on docket.
Tulane, Auburn, State and Wake Forest should furnish strong
opposition.

Real Baseball
If you want to see a few real baseball games go to Cen
tral school at the dinner hour- There are never less than three
or four games going on and the boys use a string ball and
only have four or five on a side, but they know how to “snag
’em”. No umpires are used or needed; they make their own
decisions and get by with them. Go up some day at noon

“Charley-Horse”
For a long time we have wondered where the expression
“Charlie Horse” came from. The first explanation to reach
this desk was in last Friday’s paper. This column is passing
it on to you:
“Here’s one to tell your neighbors at the ball park during
the seventh inning stretch . . .
“It’s the derivation of “charley-horse,” the severe mus
cle bruise that has benched many a ball player.
‘Dr. Augustus Thorndike, Jr., surgeon for Harvard ath
letes, declared in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery:
“ ‘ln about 1890, the Sioux City baseball team of the old
Western league had an old broken-down horse named Char
ley. The limp of this horse was quite typical, and often, when
a player appeared with a similar limp, someone would say
‘here comes Charley’-
“ ‘From this expression the term ‘Charley-horse’ was de
rived.’ ”
Rosemary Lane
Once Radio Star
Rosemary Lane, star of “An
Angel From Texas,” which opens
tomorrow at the Palace theatre,
found that radio was her spring
board to the movies.
Several years ago when the
Ford or Old Gold hours brought
the dulcet strains of Fred Waring
and his Pennsylvanians to the air,
Rosemary’s singing made her’s a
name to conjure with. To mil
lions of young hearts every where
she typified the American col
lege girl. At high school and at
Simpson college, Rosemary was
just that. She went in for track,
tennis, hockey, and soccer. No
campus grind, she has always had

Clayton Hurls lamblers
To Hard Fought Victory
On Thursday afternoon of this
past week Coach George Wirtz’s
Ramblers downed the undefeat
ed Hilltcppers of Bethel Hill high
school in a fast and hard fought
baseball game at Bethel Hill.
On this day the high school
was staging a Community Day
and had the game as a special sea
ture on the program. This was
the Hilltopper’s eleventh start of
the season and they had man
aged to rack up a perfect score
in all previous games.
Buddy Clayton, the Ramblers’
star hurler, went the entire
route and allow only seven safe
ties, while his mates were secur
ing 16 safe blows from the offer
ings of E. Shotwell and E. Wrenr.,
Clayton kept all of the Hilltop
pers’ hits well scattered and no
one except Tiny Milam was able
to get more than one, he getting
two. Hassell Whitfield, for Rox
boro, took hitting honors for the
afternoon by batting 1.000. He
went to the plate five times and ,
secured five safe blows, a triple,
double and three singles. Shot- .
well, for Bethel, also smashed
out a triple.
This was the Ramblers’ fourth
straight win and from such teams
as Hillsboro, Henderson, Prospect
Hill and the Hilltcppers.

ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES
FOR RESULTS.
REFLECTIONS
By R. M. SPENCER
PEACE IN OUR TIME
No other living creature is so
dependent upon peace as man.
The man whose home-life is a
castle-of-peace has a clear path
toward the goal of success. His
mind is not cluttered up with
discord; his nervous energy is not
dissipated. The man who has
found Peace of Mind expands ev
ery waking moment in construc
tive endeavor.
Our National life .parallels the
life of each of
Bits citizens. The
farmer who has
fear in his
heart, and does
-not plant seed
for a crop,
does not have
Peace of Mind.
The merchant,
who fears fin
-1 ancial disaster.
■ and does not keep his merchan
dise fresh and salable, shoves
faith-in-the-future out the back
i door and Peace of Mind goes with
1 it. Peace In Our Time will be
realized when fanners, mercha its,
manufactureres and workers have
faith in each other. When worry
r of “What Might Happen” is no
l longer a spectre on the horizon
s of time and in its stead we find
■ the cross of Faith, then National
i ism will reach its zenith.
“Peace In Our Time” lies with
. in ourselves. It lies within the
sacred precincts of our minds.
Only as you and I appreciate its
importance can we live in har
mony with ourselves and with
others.
Have faith in your fellowmen
for “Peace In Our Tfane."
